About the time features.
Time Defrost
Allows you to defrost for a selected length of time. See the
Defrosting Guide for suggested times. (Auto Defrost explained
in the About the auto feature section.)
Press AUTO/TIME DEFROST twice.
Enter defrosting time.
Press START.
Turn food over when the oven signals.
Press START.
Power level is automatically set at 3 but can be changed.
You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power
level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total
defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total
time to approximately 1/3. However, food will need more
frequent attention than usual.
At one half of selected defrosting time, the oven signals
to turn the food over. At this time, turn food over and
break apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting.
Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting.
This is normal when oven is not operating at High power.
Defrosting Tips
■ Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted
in the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or
vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially uncovered.
■ Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted
and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer
it to a microwave-safe dish.
■ Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit
out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room
temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
■ For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts,
use Auto Defrost. Be sure large mea
ts are completely
defrosted before cooking.
■ When defrosted, food should be cool but softened
in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave
very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.
